My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

Sun Ji'en broke out in a cold sweat.

The Emperor's inquiry about this news was clearly not in its literal sense. What news from over there wouldn't reach him first?

He asked himself if any news had come, clearly hoping to hear good news.

But how long has it been since someone was sent to Jiangzhou? How could good news be coming back so quickly?

Moreover, he is the son of the Celestial Emperor; who knows if he possesses any supernatural powers like his mother?

Even without supernatural powers, the Immortal Emperor must have arranged for top-tier experts to protect him if he could leave him alone in Jiangzhou.

It's not that easy to catch people.

But he dared not say those words.

The Emperor is currently furious. If he gets too angry, it's not impossible that he might kill all of them, his servants.

He could only try his best to say what he wanted to hear.

"It is said that Lu Yanqi is currently very busy in Jiangzhou, not only participating in the reform of the imperial examination system, but also establishing a new department."

It is said that this department is called the R&D department, and it not only develops weapons, but also everyday tools and other items.

He's out all day long; it shouldn't be difficult to catch him. Good news should be coming soon.

Emperor Zhou Gong's expression remained grim. "What did you say? What is he doing? He's set up a research and development department?"

Sun Ji'en wished he could slap himself twice; he really knew how to bring up the most sensitive topics.

He immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, this is not to be believed. How old is he? What could he possibly know?"

In my opinion, this is nothing more than a scheme by rebels to create momentum for themselves, deliberately portraying him as a child prodigy to deceive the masses and make them believe that one of them is a true deity and the other is the son of a deity.

After thinking about it, Emperor Gong of Zhou also felt that Sun Ji'en's words made sense.

How old is that child?

Even a child prodigy wouldn't be this capable at such a young age. It's most likely a tactic employed by that traitor Ji Yunshuang to create hype and deceive the ignorant masses.

Surprisingly, some people actually believe it.

His expression softened slightly. "Go out! I need some peace and quiet."

Sun Ji'en felt as if he had been granted a pardon and quickly withdrew.

Meanwhile, Lu Yanqi, whom Emperor Zhou Gong considered to be creating a false impression and deceiving the people, had achieved several successes in Jiangzhou.

Besides the reform of the imperial examination system, the most noteworthy event was the establishment of the research and development department.

At first, many officials shared the same opinion as Emperor Gong of Zhou regarding Lu Yanqi.

They simply didn't believe he had any real skills.

Many people thought Ji Yunshuang was being ridiculous, wondering how she could let a child work with them.

Is this a helper being sent, or are they being asked to help her take care of the children?

Some people thought that Ji Yunshuang didn't trust them and deliberately sent Lu Yanqi to keep an eye on them.

However, they soon discovered that although Lu Yanqi looked like a child, he had a unique perspective and was shrewd in his actions. The only thing about him that resembled a child was his appearance.

In other aspects, he's nothing like a child.

What truly convinces everyone is the achievement of the R&D department.

Today, the R&D department founded by Lu Yanqi has produced three things.

First, explosives.

Second, printing technology.

Third, the materials and technology used in papermaking have been improved.

When they saw with their own eyes that what he made had leveled a mountain, who would dare to underestimate him?

He's so young, yet he possesses such skill. How remarkable must his mother be?

Many people were deeply moved and truly submitted to and pledged allegiance to the mother and son.
